ASB Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Need to replace my hinges on the livewell of my 2004 TE. Wanting to use the gem friction hinges but don't know which ones to get. Anyone know or have replaced theirs? Also would one friction hinge work or do I need two to hold the lid up lid open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernieNC Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 My understanding is they do not have a direct replacement. ( ie. holes do not line up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASB Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I just got a reply back from Gem and the barrels are bigger in the friction hinges and I do not have enough recess to mount them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodWorks Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I put two on my 03' live well. As BernieNC said, the holes are different so it makes things complicated. The barrels are slightly larger but it didn't create an issue. Probably just moved the hatch forward slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
